About Mary Redding

Mary Redding, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker in Mississippi with 36 years of experience supporting people through the emotional and relational challenges that can arise across the lifespan.

With an empathetic, individualized style, Mary helps clients look at patterns that shape communication, relationships, and day-to-day coping. She supports individuals and families as they navigate issues like codependency, commitment and control concerns, family of origin stress, divorce and separation, blended family adjustments, adoption and foster care experiences, caregiver strain, and aging-related challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Mary Redding draws from evidence-informed approaches that can support day-to-day coping, emotional balance, and healthier relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, then practicing new skills that can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can be especially helpful for people who feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck in repeating conflict patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) adds another layer by helping clients make room for difficult feelings while taking steps toward values-based choices, which can support self-esteem and resilience during challenging seasons.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful in the past, then tailors sessions to fit those needs over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to stay consistent with support, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access care from home or another comfortable setting.
